John Pule at NBK Berlin
Gallery artists Shane Cotton, Reuben Paterson and John Pule have been invited to exhibit at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin, as part of the exhibition Dateline: Contemporary Art of the Pacific Islands. The exhibition, which is a curatorial collaboration between Rhana Devenport of the Govett Brewster Art Gallery and Dr. Alexander Tolnay, director of NBK, will tour Germany and return to New Zealand in 2008.
Dr. Tolnay says he aims "to explore recent developments in the contemporary art of the Pacific tracking along the "date line" and investigating how a new generation of artists in the region reacts to the complex contradictions between tradition, modernity and globalization in today's world. The exhibition should explore the various ways in which renewal and evolution of indigenous traditions are occurring, incorporating cross-cultural interaction while at the same time contending with the pressures of "ethnokitsch" and tourism"
Exhibition dates at NBK: 7 September -19 October 2007
